    1. [SCT~ROOTS] Reuben Ross.Benjamin Ross.Reuben M. Ross
    2. Hello All, It has been awhile since I posted this info so I thought it may be time to try again... My 5great grandfather was Benjamin Ross b. 1766 somewhere in Scotland-I know not where but sure would like to. He was the son of Reuben Ross. Family story says that 3 Ross brothers (don't know Benjamin's brothers names) came to America through Pennsylvania and each settled in a different area. Benjamin settled in Burke Co, NC and married Saphira Frizzell (also of Scottish heritage) on  20 Nov 1794 in what was then Lincoln Co, NC. Their only son was Reuben M. Ross b. 1797 in Lincoln Co, NC.  Reuben M. Ross was a teacher and married Deborah England. I'm not sure that the family moved, I think the county lines just changed and became Burke Co, NC. Children of Reuben and Deborah: Benjamin A. Ross, possibly a Joseph Ross, John Ross, Stephen A. Ross, William A. Ross, Reuben Albert Ross, and Sarah Eliza Ross. (William A. married Mary Ann Denton (dtr of Anderson Denton), Sarah Eliza married Emanuel Denton (son of William Denton), Stephen A. married first Amelia Abigail McCall (dtr of John McCall) and 2nd Elizabeth Byers/Biers, Benjamin A. married Saphronia?, Joseph married Delilah ?, John married Eliza ?, Reuben Albert married ?? I know of a great many the descendants but am having trouble with ancestors and where in Scotland this Ross family was from and when and where (town) they came to America. They may have traveled from PA to NC with the McCall family and John McCall was the bondsman for the marriage of Reuben M. Ross to Deborah England. I would also love to connect with any descendants. Sure would appreciate any help, Audrey Orlando, FL
